Patent EP-1441434-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KAYUKAWA NAOYUKI
IPC: C10J3/16
Filed: 2004-01-21
Abstract: An MHD stand-alone high efficiency power generation method comprises following three steps; a thermo-chemical coal gasification step in which waste heat of exhaust gas from an MHD generator 1b of an MHD power generation apparatus 1 is converted into chemical energy of coal syngas by a coal gasification process in the furnace 2; a pre-heating step in which the waste heat of the exhaust gas through the coal gasification furnace 2 is recovered as a sensible heat of a coal syngas and hydrogen mixture by heat exchange in the pre-heater 3; and an iodine - sulfur reaction step in which the waste heat of the exhaust gas through the fuel pre-heater is converted into hydrogen energy by splitting water in the IS system 4. 
By means of the said three steps, the high temperature waste heat from the MHD generator 1b is regenerated as the sensible heat of the fuel mixture and the fuel chemical energy. The method further comprises a step in which the regenerated energy is re-circulated to a combustor 1a of the MHD power generation apparatus 1, and the fuel consisting of the syngas produced in the gasification furnace and the hydrogen produced in the iodine - sulfur unit is combusted with pure oxygen. As a result, a high efficiency power generation system with no carbon dioxide emission capability can be designed by using an MHD stand-alone unit, and using coal resource as the primary fuel.

Abstract: There are provided a control system and method
for an internal combustion engine which are capable of
attaining a high combustion efficiency in both of a
homogenous and a stratified combustion modes, thereby
improving drivability and fuel economy, as well as a
control system and method for an internal combustion
engine which are capable of ensuring stable combustion
in both the modes. In one form of the invention, the
control system includes an ECU for controlling ignition
timing IG of an in-cylinder fuel injection type engine
which is operated while switching the combustion mode
between the homogeneous and stratified combustion modes.
The ECU determines which of the homogeneous and
stratified combustion modes should be selected. The
ECU sets a first ignition timing for the homogenous
combustion mode and a second ignition timing for the
stratified combustion mode to respective values
different from each other, and at the same time sets
the first ignition timing for the homogeneous
combustion mode such that the first ignition timing for
the homogeneous combustion mode is more retarded as the
detected engine temperature is higher. In another form
of the invention, the ECU determines combustion
parameters for the homogeneous and stratified
combustion modes based on detected load on the engine.
The ECU determines an ignition timing for the
homogenous combustion mode based on the detected load,
and an ignition timing for the stratified combustion
mode based on the fuel injection termination timing for
the stratified combustion mode.

Abstract: In a reflective liquid crystal display device according to the
invention, burn-in in a long-term drive which occurs due to asymmetric
structures of side surfaces of an inter-pixel groove can be prevented, and
long-term drive reliability can be achieved. A first obliquely evaporated
alignment film (43A) is formed on a first side surface of the inter-pixel groove in a
sectional surface of a pixel electrode substrate (41) in a thickness direction
through evaporation, and a second obliquely evaporated alignment film (43B) is
formed on a second side surface facing the first side surface through
evaporation. Thereby, the film structures of both side surfaces of the inter-pixel
groove in the sectional surface become symmetric, so burn-in in a
long-term drive which occurs due to the asymmetric structures of the side
surfaces of the inter-pixel groove can be prevented.

Abstract: A tamper-evident enclosure for the storage and transport of bank notes comprises a frame 107 spanned by a membrane 108 of elasticated material. The frame is located in the top of an open-topped container and bank notes are pushed through the frame, deflecting flaps 21A.22A, until the membrane is fully distended. A cover plate 111 is then slid through channels on opposite sides of the frame 107 to close the "bag". The channels and the cover plate have opposite saw-tooth formations so that the cover plate can only be removed by continued movement in the same direction. When the "bag" is fully closed a tongue 117 enters a formation 118 at the leading end of the frame. Thus the cover plate 111 can only be removed from the frame by first breaking off the tongue 118 and bending down the formation 118. <IMAGE>
